8. The Shadow

Alec Baldwin as a superhero should have tipped us all off that this one was going to be one to forget.  For those of you who haven’t yet seen this epic failure of a film, the plot is about a guy who learns to cloud the minds of men using ancient mystical techniques, which make him appear to be only a shadow to them.  

He of course uses this power to beat the crap out of them without being seen. The movie is based on the very popular radio show which used as its catch phrase, “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?  The Shadow knows…”  Folks who had a frame of reference flocked to the movie, only to leave extremely disappointed.  

Unlike the great superhero push today, the producers of “The Shadow” forgot to aim their efforts at their target market.  Males in the 18-35 age group didn’t even know who the heck the Shadow was from back in the old days.  The most interesting part of the movie involves a knife with sharp teeth, and believe me, that isn’t any big deal.
